Here's my latest attempt at rendering a Python Green 718 Spyder, based on what others here have reported as accurate looking photos. I based it off a racing yellow photo, so the reflectivity of the paint and the way it shows curves should be similar.

I went to my dealer today, checked out a Python Green colour sample. In real life, it’s not remotely washed out looking. It’s close to my mockups above, perhaps a touch darker. Photos where it looks washed out or bluish are completely wrong. It’s a bold green, not bluish, but not really yellowish either. It’s substantially darker than lizard green.
Do I want it? Still undecided. They had a Miami Blue 718 Spyder pending delivery to a customer, and it was gorgeous. They had a GT Silver GT4 too near it, and it was pretty too, albeit not as bold. I’m still torn... the GT Silver with red top is more conventionally pretty, and much easier to photograph accurately, by the green would be bold and unusual.

I made a Miami Blue mockup with the same shot, and slightly adjusted the Python Green mockup based on the paint sample I saw today. I thought the Miami Blue Spyder looked great in person, and comparing the two images back to back, I like the Python Green one even better. I think I'll do Python Green

Interior idea to go with it (PMTUZ8G3 in US configurator, since Canadian configurator hasn't been updated yet) - Lizard Green belts, stitching, and CXX door pulls, and Python Green painted trim:

That looks great though I’d be careful putting Lizard near Python as the mismatch may not look good. What about Mamba stitching and black belts? Why does my configurator show this as your interior? Can’t make it to show PG interior nor any color stitching other than the standard ones on offer:

I’m debating between mamba and lizard stitching. Lizard allows having matching belts and door pulls (via CXX). Mamba stitching would be closer to Python, but mamba belts and door pulls are unavailable.

I manually photoshopped it because the configurator shows the Python Green painted trim completely wrong, and can’t render non-standard deviated stitching.

I think Lizard interior would clash with PG even if there's no PG in the interior, and definitely if there is. Mamba stitching would be my choice, with or without PG interior trim, and everything else (belts, pulls) kept black. Contact pieces like that would be easier to keep looking clean as black anyway. Another option would be silver stitching, belts, and pulls with PG interior trim, the former connecting with the silver wheels and the latter with the PG exterior paint.

Ah, you've done your photoshop magic to it. I was worried my laptop(s) were all broken.

I went to the dealer today and took a couple of photos of the paint sample for python, lizard and mamba. Also took the sample of PG and place it on the interior of a lizard green GT3RS.
If you keep the lizard to a minimum on the interior it will look good....the stitching is a non-issue. The belts worried me but after looking at it it's not bad at all...I have seen other color combos with mismatched interior/exterior colors and this one is Ok with me.
The silver interior of course is cheaper and classy looking...can't go wrong with that.
You don't need to spec lizard green door pulls via CXX....just buy them from your dealer for the GT3RS
Mamba stitching will be very dark and you wont be able to do via CXX seat belts and the door straps.
Here you have some pics...they are not the best due to the lighting but you can get an idea of the change in hue over those 2 greens.
Here you have Mamba green, Python green and Lizard Green next to a sample of Sport Tex with Lizard Green Stitching.
